[IP Masking] Make sure Reading Lists are synced only for permanent accounts.
Open, MediumPublic

Description

This is to ensure that our sync logic for reading lists behaves the same for temporary accounts as it does for logged-out users. In other words, we should only synchronize the user's reading lists if they are logged in as a permanent account.

The rationale being that syncing of reading lists is for the purpose of accessing your lists from different devices, whereas a temporary account by definition cannot be accessed from anywhere else, and any synced lists will be a waste of space and bandwidth.

We may also modify the ReadingLists extension itself to return an error if attempting to sync lists to a temporary account, but we should simply prevent syncing from the client side regardless.
